    This is “Thee” Best Military Museum in the world - There is no other museum that can come even close to this comprehensive collection-
    Thanks to Dragonman for being the gate keeper of all of these artifacts

      Scott Delorean is absolutely correct. I have been to military museums all over North America and Europe and I must say this is the best one around as far as weapons, equipment and vehicles. I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to tour Dragonman's museum back in June 2020 and must say that it was probably the $20.00 I have ever spent. Thank you to Mel and all his hard working staff for this museum and its tours! This is truly a bucket list item for every history buff!

    The only reason why I would drive to Colorado is to visit Dragonman's museum. I find the videos so overwhelming that my mind is blown. His museum is much bigger and elaborate than the USA military museum in Camp Bennington, Georiga. The American artwork in camp Bennington is top notch especially of Sergeant York, I met the artist. I am sure the curator is envious of Dragonman's collection and presentation.

    this dude has the coolest stuff..... my great uncle was a WWII and Korean war collector. After he passed, my great aunt sold all his stuff (he had a lot of authentic, cool shtuff). Then when my great aunt died, i inherited her collection of Elvis collectabillia..... Slowly selling it one whiskey decanter, one picture, one scarf, one "whatever" at a time.... She was a paraplegic, antique seller, and had a lot of time to shop (especially after my uncle died).... we've got a looot of elvis stuff...
    I only WISH she had THIS type of stuff!! lol

    When I saw the Air Force fighter uniform I about lost it. My grandfather went MIA in March of 68’ on a night strike mission in Laos, 15 clicks NW of techepone. Never to return home. He had his wings, but he was in the backseat. Not sure if the pilot lost the bird during the roll in or if they got it (Phantoms were not designed as dive bombers, they were heavy sons-a-bitches) but they sure as hell bought the farm.
